That's the problem with the English upper-classes - they were so busy at public school buggering the youngest ones and toasting muffins held between the buttocks over an open fire, that they never learned to spell properly
..."and toasting muffins held between the buttocks over an open fire..."
Ah but were those muffins ever Eton??
I'm disappointed. From the topic heading, I thought this was to be a discussion of the lack of carrying space unlike the bikes of old. A basket up front and space under the seat seems all but gone. Hooking 3 full grocery bags on the peg and trying to control said bag with your feet while having another bag slung over the handle bar interfering with the brake is a nightmare. But I guess the Thai boys don't look cool with a basket. Pining for the good ole days.

The Marquess of Queensberry is a Scottish title
The 9th Marquess was educated in the training ships Illustrious and Britannia at Portsmouth. Not a muffin in sight, although you'd think he'd know all about the "proud" traditions of the Royal Navy as listed by Churchill when First Lord - "rum, sodomy and the lash"
Surely a bicycle with a basket is reserved for women?
A retired Br Merchant Navy seadog (now retired in Thailand) told me that whereas Sodomy was rear, hand jobs were not rare and were carried out by the new Deck Hands hence the name 'hand job'.
